Can you believe all the celebrities who died in '07? I'm sure you saw the names. Every newspaper in the country ran a list back around new years of those who didn't make it out alive. Don't you hate that? It's enough to bring anybody down. Of course, it's...

Man, today was so much fun !  I have been playing in some really dirty dirt.  The garden I have been planting has grown and I have lots of blooms and veggies. I haven't labeled all the pics yet but go to my media section " My garden in April"....

There's passion on Manhattan. I felt it as soon as I arrived on the island. For me, a major part of this enthusiasm radiates from my fast-walking, subway-chasing, black-wearing, taxi-flagging urbanite daughters. The New York I know is viewed through their...

So, when I lived with my last sweetheart a few years ago, we moved into a lovely home in a quaint, quiet neighborhood...or that’s the way we perceived it would be.  We thought it a skosh odd that our next-door neighbor’s house...

You could probably tell from the picture in my profile that I'm a pretty big guy, but I didn't use to be that way. When I was 21, I still weighed 135 pounds, but now at age 44, I have an update on my personal weight deal that I'd like to share with...

My old friend, Frank, used to be married to Donna. Donna had a very close friend, Jim, who was gay, not that there's anything wrong with that. I say was because Jim is no longer with us and that's just a darn shame because he was so good natured and an...

As a 45 yr old guy trying to compete with kids 20 years my junior, I thought the decision that my league made (Lehigh Valley Men's Senior Baseball League) to switch to wood bats would quickly end my baseball career. I thought that I needed all the help I...

Not being the most motivated person in the world, I developed my own work-out regime. I call it the 5-MININUTE WORK OUT. I do it 5 times a week. (I thought 7 times a week would be overkill.) The beauty of my fitness routine is that you can always find 5...

I''m a big movie buff, with 300 or so DVDs, as well as a very well-used Netflix subscription. I love High-Def TV and movies, but hesitated to buy into Blu-Ray or HD-DVD for fear of picking the wrong side in a format war. My family sided with BetaMax in...

After 80 days and 8,000 miles Glenn Fenster can rest. Growing bolder with every mile, the ride was far from easy. There were times he wondered if he would survive. He had to fight just to continue. The same kind of fight his son faces every single...

If God had built us without judgment, we’d be better off...maybe...but it’s commenting on what other people wear and look like that makes for an insane amount of laughter and gratitude...the, “There but for the grace of GAWD go...

It happens almost every day. I get home from work, kick off my shoes, plop down in front of the television and I hear that unmistakable voice. He wants me to go swimming. My 13-year old son has waited all day for his dad to join him in the...

Ciji Ware didn't exactly have a normal upbringing, but she hasn't complained one bit. Her father, Harlan Ware was one of two main writers for the longest running non-interrupted serial drama in radio history, "One Man's Family." Harlan died exactly 40...
